Yes the Nazis got to power through fear but that doesn't stop what Hitler doen to businesses that didn't hit their imposable targetrs. Nazisim was born out of Marxist socialism.
nazism had nothing to do with marxism lmao
I basically consider communism and absolutely free markets to be two sides of the same coin: Nice ideas in theory, but impossible to implement in practice without it going wrong.
it rose from italian fascism
Alright Shinsoo, alright.
Italian fascism was the result of a split from socialism
it really wasn't, that's just the rhetoric they used to appeal to workers at the time
>t-they were just lying
>taking fascists by their word
BREAKING NEWS: most of us are humans the left denys claims and is starting a new term anti nonhumans
>ignore the nationalization, that's capitalism now
>ignore the mass privatisation, that's socialist now
if you want us to throw memes at each other, that's fine
i'd prefer an actual discussion
A government run economy is inherently not capitalist
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Year_Plan
Technically, it is. Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industries, and the means of production are largely or entirely privately owned and operated for profit.
State capitalism is usually described as an economic system in which commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity is undertaken by the state, with management and organization of the means of production in a capitalist manner, including the system of capital accumulation, wage labor, and centralized management.
Simply the capitalist class was represented by the state. That is, state capitalism is a merely a flavor of capitalism, a monopolistic one, without market.
>privately owned
>the state owns it
These are contradictory statements
Against the mainstream: Nazi privatization in 1930s Germany
the nazis privatised as much as they could
they encouraged cartels and monopolies and were uninterested in economic competition, but nationalisation wasn't their focus
taking care of the civilian sector was seen as a waste of government manpower and resources, they wanted to focus everything on warfare
>1930
>four year plan was in 36
Oh boy
this might surprise you, but 1936 is in the 30s
there's a neat section that explains their privatisation policies
and how they cooperated with businesses
fun fact, my university's main building is named after a private company which used slave labour from nazi camps
the company was split up after the war, one of its remnants today is Bayer
You're not addressing the Nazi control of the economy, which was part of the '36 4 Year Plan
You appear to be avoiding it, in fact
because it's irrelevant
the government had *huge* influence over the economy, as governments often do, by giving contracts and funding
in the nazi's case, they had even more influence than usual because they **privatised** a lot, and provided businesses with slave labour
but all this influence doesn't negate the fact that they relied on privatisation and capitalism
>it's irrelevant that they controlled the economy
No, that makes it not capitalist, m8
<:wewlad:303868350134747143>
they didn't control the economy, that's the thing
